I may be smelly and I may be old, Rough in my pebbles, reedy in my pools, But where my fish float by I bless their swimming, And I like the people to bathe in me especially women.

I remember the first time I smelled B.O. was at a cross-country meet. But it wasn't unpleasant, in a strange way. That's what you got when you worked hard.

I was 21, and rehearsing a play, took a fall and was in a coma for a few days. And when I recovered, I'd lost my sense of smell completely.

I like the smell of film. I just like knowing there's film going through the camera.

I think that when you smell good, you feel good. You know how when you're in a room and someone else smells good, you're like, 'Where is that?'

I came like Water, and like Wind I go.

When I was a child, our summer days were spent swimming; chlorine in my hair was like perfume to me.

We share our planet quite naturally with a permanent aeroplankton; a buoyant ecology too soft to hear, too small to see, but heavy with mood and meaning. Imagine being aware of all these airy inclusions - and you can begin to understand how it might feel to be able to smell really well.

I'm just a huge fan of smells, first of all. I have a bit of an obsession with smells.
